Download or read book It Ends Well written by Samantha Schleeter and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2022-11-23 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It Ends Well By: Samantha Schleeter While growing up, Samantha was a seemingly joyful child. She got along with others, was talkative, and never stopped laughing. This was because she always wore a mask. This mask changed everything that made her, her. This hid her sadness from others but also, her true personality. She picked apart and manipulated every aspect of this new face to create a whole new person. Instead of facing the grief of losing her sister head on, or the numerous mental illnesses poured on her plate, she spent her time perfecting every part of her body and personality. After years of comparing, judging, and downgrading herself, she hit a breaking point. She didn’t know where else to turn. So, Samantha started pouring her emotions out by writing. Although not realizing this initially, writing poetry became an outlet and helped Samantha emerge from a long depression. It Ends Well takes the reader through this grueling journey of pain and loss. Samantha discusses body image, self harm, the death of her sister, sexual assault, and the deep emotions she was feeling, but didn’t know how to process. The worst parts of her life are within these pages, but so are the best. She finds herself and her true meaning as the book progresses. Watch her grow and mature, and find out who she wants to be. She hopes that through her journey, the readers can see, everyone’s story truly does end well.

Check. The bastard child of Haruki Murakami’s 1Q84 and Stephen King’s CARRIE, KAI explores how one innocent girl becomes the target of enormous rage living inside another girl-who is seemingly from another world. Satsuki Takamoto is an invisible otaku teenager in Hiroshima. The only thing she has going for her is the upcoming birth of her sister. No longer will she be alone. But when her mother has a gory miscarriage right in front of her, Satsuki loses her one chance at happiness. She spirals into a deep depression, shutting out everyone and everything by locking herself inside her bedroom-for good. Her sadness, however, pales in comparison to her uncontrollable anger. It spreads like a nuclear fire, ambivalent to what or who it destroys, and won’t stop until Satsuki accepts her sister’s death. Meanwhile, on the other side of the world in Evanston, Illinois, Seul Bi Rissiello can’t sleep because every time she closes her eyes, she relives her adoptive parents’ gruesome deaths. Why is she thinking so much about them now, ten years afterward? As she struggles with working at a clinic for the mentally disturbed, Seul Bi starts to unravel under the weight of living a lonely life and being twice an orphan. Her life devolves into a series of ominous and dangerous hallucinations that threaten not only her sanity, but her very existence as well. As both girls struggle to understand what is happening to them, their enigmatic connection comes into focus, raising the question: What if all the suffering in your life was carefully choreographed by somebody you’ve never met? REVIEWS FOR KAI: "Two young women- a Japanese schoolgirl in Hiroshima and a Korean orphan in the US- seemingly living parallel lives are drawn together in a Japanese horror story of interconnections and dark imaginings. Through the fevered imaginations of its protagonists Vasconi takes us on an ever-changing journey across oceans and continents and through a maze of sexual tensions, horrific miscarriages, and malevolent thoughts, against the ever-present backdrop of the Atomic Bomb and its searing disfigurements. Yet through the clouds of nuclear dystopia come rays of transformative light in a compelling finale that grips the imagination and leaves one looking back at the interconnections at the heart of this gripping tale." -Ian Reader, Author of Religious Violence in Contemporary Japan: The Case of Aum Shinrikyo "KAI combines horror, drama, mystery, and philosophy in an engaging, gory and violent character study of two young girls." -IndieReader. "The style immediately reminded me of 1Q84...Like Murakami, Derek manages to create a very blurry line between what is real and what isn’t. The detailed descriptions and graphic imagery really helps create the world both Satsuki and Seul Bi live in, and the difficulties they go through. If you’re squeamish though, be warned, as some scenes in the book can be quite difficult to stomach." -Nihon in London "This book is quite an eloquent, yet biting read: the slow, creeping, eventually brutal feel of the piece is truly terrifying at times. It’s got a lot of nuance and subtle pacing that makes Asian-inspired horror fiction great, all the while drawing from American Gothic to make a really eclectic, varied feel – and all the more disturbing for it. To be blunt, it’s weird as hell, in the best of ways." Self-Publishing Review "Derek weaves a compelling tale in ‘Kai’. The story shifts focus smoothly between Satsuki and Seul Bi, from the understated opening chapters, right through to the grand reveal of just what it is that connects these two girls. Most importantly the characters you are introduced to are believable, making the occasional visceral moments all the more potent." -Ross Lovell, Emily Loves Japan Official Blog

Download or read book Drip Irrigation for Agriculture written by Jean-Philippe Venot and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-07-06 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Initially associated with hi-tech irrigated agriculture, drip irrigation is now being used by a much wider range of farmers in emerging and developing countries. This book documents the enthusiasm, spread and use of drip irrigation systems by smallholders but also some disappointments and disillusion faced in the global South. It explores and explains under which conditions it works, for whom and with what effects. The book deals with drip irrigation 'behind the scenes', showcasing what largely remain 'untold stories'. Most research on drip irrigation use plot-level studies to demonstrate the technology’s ability to save water or improve efficiencies and use a narrow and rather prescriptive engineering or economic language. They tend to be grounded in a firm belief in the technology and focus on the identification of ways to improve or better realize its potential. The technology also figures prominently in poverty alleviation or agricultural modernization narratives, figuring as a tool to help smallholders become more innovative, entrepreneurial and business minded. Instead of focusing on its potential, this book looks at drip irrigation-in-use, making sense of what it does from the perspectives of the farmers who use it, and of the development workers and agencies, policymakers, private companies, local craftsmen, engineers, extension agents or researchers who engage with it for a diversity of reasons and to realize a multiplicity of objectives. While anchored in a sound engineering understanding of the design and operating principles of the technology, the book extends the analysis beyond engineering and hydraulics to understand drip irrigation as a sociotechnical phenomenon that not only changes the way water is supplied to crops but also transforms agricultural farming systems and even how society is organized. The book provides field evidence from a diversity of interdisciplinary case studies in sub-Saharan Africa, the Mediterranean, Latin America, and South Asia, thus revealing some of the untold stories of drip irrigation.

Download or read book World Remade written by Brice Larson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-12-11 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being fed up with the church is not the same as walking away from God. World Remade bears witness with hearts wounded by the unfaithfulness of our churches. It comes alongside those dissatisfied with the dissonance between Jesus’ teachings and the ways Christian leaders prioritize money, power, and politics. This is a book for the betrayed, the disillusioned, the worn out, and the fed up who can’t shake the sense that God still calls them. In World Remade, Larson offers a window into a faith challenged by a seminary education and fractured by the failures of a self-absorbed church. As frustration gives way to cynicism, he is met by a God who knows us in our darkness and who holds all creation together even when we ourselves are shattered.
